The boutique bank already had some star power of its own before these big name investors were revealed. Raine was co-founded by Ari Emanuel, the legendary Hollywood agent and brother of Chicago mayor Rahm. The FT reports that these latest investments are part of a $500 million round "to finance acquisitions in media, sports and entertainment." Raine made headlines last week for reportedly joining with advertising giant WPP and former Viacom chief Tom Freston to take a minority stake in edgy magazine brand Vice Media.

Raine's New York office is headed up by Joe Ravitch, who led the media practice at Goldman Sachs until 2009, and Jeff Sine, former head of tech at UBS. The firm also has outposts in L.A. and Beijing.
